README

This module is designed to provide a facade for Zend\Permissions\Acl that will
ease its usage with modules and applications. By default, it provides simple
setup via config files or by using Zend\Db or Doctrine ORM/ODM (via ZfcUserDoctrineORM).

What does BjyAuthorize do?

BjyAuthorize adds event listeners to your application so that you have a "security" or "firewall" that disallows
unauthorized access to your controllers or routes.

Installation

Composer

Configuration

Following steps apply if you want to use ZfcUser with Zend\Db. If you want to use Doctrine ORM/ODM, you should
also check the doctrine documentation.

Ensure that following modules are enabled in your application.config.php file in the this order:

ZfcBase

ZfcUser

BjyAuthorize

Import the SQL schema located in ./vendor/BjyAuthorize/data/schema.sql.

Create a ./config/autoload/bjyauthorize.global.php file and fill it with
configuration variable values as described in the following annotated example.

Here is an annotated sample configuration file:

Helpers and Plugins

There are view helpers and controller plugins registered for this module.
In either a controller or a view script, you can call
$this->isAllowed($resource[, $privilege]), which will query the ACL
using the currently authenticated (or default) user's roles.

Whenever you need to stop processing your action you can throw an UnAuthorizedException and users will see you message on a 403 page.
